The so-called friends in the business never helped my dad.
My dad had a very Italian heavy accent.
And back then you couldn't be a leading actor if you had an heavy accent.
So he was tossed on the side and he dedicated his life and my mother for me and my sister to go to school here and learn the language.
Cause you know, we didn't speak English.
So I pursued the acting so much that in that process, I wanted to get out of high school.
I went to different high schools.
I got kicked out of some high schools.
I got in trouble.
whatnot.
I wasn't a bad kid, but I didn't take no for an answer.
I didn't like kids picking on me.
And I always hung out with not the popular kids.
I hung out with the tough kids.
That's just the type of person I've always been.
And I always wanted to protect them as much as they wanted to protect me.
My parents tried to put me in private schools.
I went to Palisades.
I went to St.
Bernard's.
